Ingredients

3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon sea salt, to taste
1/8-1/4 teaspoons ground white pepper
1/4 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
3 farm fresh eggs, beaten until fluffy
1 cup milk
a few tablespoons of butter, to taste

Directions

1

Combine the flour, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Add the milk to the eggs. Add milk/egg mix a little at a time to the flour until the dough becomes sticky and workable, but still pretty thick....like thick cake batter.
2

Boil a few quarts of lightly salted water in a large pot. When the water is boiling, fill the basket of the spaetzle maker (or holes in a colander) and slide through to the boiling water below. As soon as the dumplings float to the top (3-4 minutes) they are done. Fish them out with a slotted scoop into a serving dish. Add some pats of butter. Keep warm. Proceed to cook the remaining dough the same way and add to the dish when done with a little more butter. Serve with your favorite main dish and sauce.
